Verdict
STERNRUBIN, a son of Authorized, showed definite promise in three maiden runs on the Flat for Peter Chapple-Hyam. Philip Hobbs will have given him plenty of schooling and he could be too classy for these. The filly Moving Waves won over 1m6f on the Fibresand and is another interesting newcomer and she probably has more scope than Bangor third Guard Of Honour, who is now blinkered, and Nellie The Elegant. Aristocracy was fourth to Vosne Romanee at Fontwell on debut but was still beaten more than 20 lengths.
